High School Team To 


Again Hit The 


For the first time in nine years the 
high school hockey team has ap- 
pealed to the public for support in 
the purchase of new uniforms. This 
appeal has met with splendid re- 
sponse and the newly re-organized 
team, to be known as Didsbury 
High School Royals, will shortly ap- 
pear in their new finery at the local 
arena, 

This team replaces the High 
School Beavers of past fame. The 
Beaver uniforms finally wore out but 
their traditions will be carried on 
under the coaching of Mr. Ralph 

carieit, physical education teacher 
at the local high school. 

In next week's issue of The 
Pioneer We hope to show you this 
year’s line-up and we will also men- 
tion the local businessmen and 
farmers who have so generously con- 
tsiouted to the purchase of new 
uniforms. 

The boys would like to say “thank 
you” to all who have contributed. 
Come to the arena on Thursday, Jan. 
17 and see the team in its first game 
ayuinst the Olds High School.

Sub-zero weather didn’t stop Car- 
stairs and Didsbury, entries in the 
Chinook Hockey League from going 
all out in a scheduled game at the 
southern centre Tuesday night. 

The home team lead 1-0 at the 
end of the first frame but the locals 
came to life in the second and took 
a 3-1 bulge. However there was 
still one period to go and when the 
smoke cleared the scoreboard read 
4,-4, a fair indication of the play. 

Irwin scored twice for Didsbury, 
with singletons going to Miller and 
Neufeld; assists were picked up by |

Scouts Enjoy 
‘inter Camp 


If there is such a thing as “hitting 
the jackpot” on a Scout camp, the 
2nd Didsbury Troop scored a bull’s- 
eye. Winter camps hardly ever 
come equipped with soft Spring 
breezes, pre-cut spruce bows and 
free potatoes. But all these and a 
lot more was the camping fare for 
13 Scouts, an assistant Scoutmaster 
and a Scoutmaster. 

If the exceptionally mild weather 
reduced 15 fearless arctic explorers 
to 15 ordinary campers no one heard 
any complaint. 

Naturally a lot of fun went into 
preparing for the camp, but much 
more fun was enjoyed when the 
camp was actually begun. The 
troop located themselves on the 
property of Mr. Davidson, on the 
bank of the Fallen Timber river, not 
too far from the Bergen store. The 
land-owner had felled a sirail berth 
of spruce, limbed the tre s, all in 
readiness for the boys to build four 
very fine spruce shelters and make 
enough spruce bow mattresses to ac- 
commodate them all. There they 
camped for three days, Dec, 27 to 
Dec. 29. 

The highlight of thelr culinary 
endeavors was the roasting of chick- 


ens. These were spitted, wrapped 
well in aluminum foi] and slowly 
roasted, With the exception of one 


small fowl] the chickens were served 
succulent and tender. 

Another interesting feature to the 
old Scouts was tne initiating of five 
Tenderfoots to the many experi- 
ences of winter camping. Th 
younger boys are to be commended 
on their enthusiasm to tackie the 
adventure. And whilst at camp each 
pitched in like a veteran to learn 
and to do whatever was required of 
them. The beginners who won their 
“spurs” were Brian Shantz, Dennis 
Brado, Ted Veenstra, Wayne Heul- 
ka and Brian Will. 

Not only did the camp offer the 
usual fun and adventure but it af- 
forded the boys good opportunity to 
lay up credits for badges, such as 
winter campers, camp cook, camp- 
ers, ete. And as in all such camps, 
in pitting himself against the Cana- 
dian winter, as mild as it was, and 


| learning to fend for himself, the boy 


who attended learned a little more 
about the important business of 


Among those who attended camp 
were patrol] leaders Wayne Stauffer, 
Virgil Stauffer and Glen Eby; 
Scouts, Arnold Eby, Gordon Cable. 
George Crawford, Lloyd Eby, Brian 
Shantz, Dennis Brado, Ted Venstra.

EEE LEE IED TEE, 


THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1957 


nme seme 10s es ome 


The hunter is a peculiar type of; 
the human male which emerges for 
one short period out of every year. 
There ig no physical characteristic 
marking the transformation. It ap- 
pears in all age groups from the 
‘wens Up and in all walks of life. 
Any resemblance of the hunter to 
the husband, father, son, brother or 
sweetheart is purely coincidental. 


Every morning for 10 months out 
of each year, the male has a natural 
immunity to alarm clocks, dutiful 
wives or mothers. He never hears 
noises in the basement, the cat want- 
ing in or out or the two am. cry 
from across the hall for a drink of 
water. Normally, wo, tRe list of 
household tasks requiring male at- 
tention grows like a bad weed. The 
jobs must wait until there is 
some free time, or until the washing 
machine actually falls apart and 
there is no Clean shirts. The family 
ig almost convinced that their 
bread-winner is indispensable to his 
job — until the hunting season rolls 
around, 

All at once there is time enough 
to shop for shells, clean guns, check 
decoys and arrange scouting trips. 
Nothing is left undone that might as- 
sure a good shoot. 

On the first of the season, even 
before the alarm rings 2:00 a.m. this 
odd creature known as the hunter is 
out of bed in a twinkling, wide awake 
and ready to go. He can even cook 
himself an elaborate breakfast while 
shaving. At no other period in the 
adult male's life is he quite so effic- 
ient. 


Of all the game birds hunted in 
Alberta, the goose puts the hunter's 
skill to the greatest test and provides 
the biggest thrill. There's more 
truth than fiction in the saying, 
“On a wild goose chase." This par- 
ticular fowl is a clever, cunning 
creature which usually flies well out 
of firing range. The hunter must 
lay Careful plans and conscientiously 
scout the terrain beforehand. 

The business of spotting begins in 
the early morning hours, usually on 
a Sunday. Carloads of hunters are 
seep streaming over country roads 
and fields. All eyes are turned sky- 
ward. A flock is sighted; the chase 
is On, Binoculars bring the beauti- 
ful birds seemingly within arm's 
reach. When they have determined 
on a likely feeding spot, the lead 
bird brings his flock down; the hun- 
ter patiently watches while the 
geese dine. After satisfying their 
hunger, they wing away to some un- 
known rendezvous. 


After gaining the farmer's per- 


mission to shoot on his land. the | 


hunter returns that same afternoon 
to the same spot. He hopes the 
Reese Will do likewise. Often the

and 


Time Now To Think About... 


The favorite winter sports in these parts. Curlers 
have got their matched rocks in action and the square 
draw is off to a good start. Annual bonspiel starts on 
January 14, that’s next Monday. Hockey is very much 
in the picture, with local teams vying for positions in 
different leagues. Our favorites, the Ramblers, have 
been blowing hot and cold to date, but promise to end 
up in a playoff spot. 


Time Now To Think About... 


Another close check on the speedways in town, we 
refer to the roads, and even sidewalks. Sunday seems 
to be the day the heavy-footed characters try to maim 
themselves or some other unsuspecting person. The 
slippery conditions that exist now, and with shinny 
games and children skating and playing with sleighs 
on the roads, the practice is just that much more dang- 
erous. Slow down fellas’, someone's going to get hurt. 
enon 


Time Now To Think About... 


The rest room project — the holidays are over and 
we're all on a routine course again — let's get crackin’ 
on this important deal. Mountain View W.I. is the last 
big contributor we've heard of .. . $50 toward the plan. 


Time Now To Think About... 


That light-up campaign we hinted about a few 
times before the Yule season. T'was a fine effort on 
the whole and very favorably commented on by many 
visitors to town. We liked ours so well we haven't taken 
the decorations down yet. 


Time Now To Think About... 


The meeting to be held Friday night to form a Com- | 
munity Chest organization. All groups and the many | 
organizations within the district are asked to send rep- 
resentatives to Friday's meeting. The idea, of course, 
is to do away with separate canvasses for different 
causes and throw all the effort into one campaign — 
it's worked everywhere else, why not here? 


Time Now To Think About... 


The learned gentleman who penned the following 
words: Things cannot always go your way. Learn to 
accept in silence the minor aggravations, cultivate the 
gift of taciturnity and consume your own smoke with an 
extra draught of hard work, so that those about you may 
not be annoyed with the dust and soot of your many 
complaints.

Since my letter of last week we have 
set out four more bait stations, Fol- 
lowing is a list of their locations: 
SS. 9, 29. 2, 5; S.W. 8, 29, 3, 5; 
N.E. 11, 33, 5, 5; S.W. 35, 33, 7, 5. 
Study these locations and if any one 
is in your locality be careful to keep 
any dogs away from them. Each 
sile is One mile or more from habi- 
tation but you might accidentally 
roam the vicinity with a dog and it 
might be attracted to the meat un- 
less you give the location a wide 
berth. 

I understand that this coyote de« 
struction program does not please 
some of the coyote hunters in the 
towns who like to go out of an 
afternoon to shoot the coyotes for 
sport. It seems that they think 
the farmer should continue to feed 
the coyotes with their live turkeys, 
chicken, sheep, calves, etc, so that 
hunting will continue to be provided 
for them at their leisure. However, 
the farmers who have been suffering 
from these coyote depradations 
think differently. Numbers of them 
have suffered many dollars worth of 
loss; are justified in taking the nec- 
essary precautions to ensure that 
these losses to their flocks are stop- 


We are not out to completely eli- 
Mminate the coyote. I think that | 
would be impossible with the foothills , 
and mountains as qa natural breeding | 
ground. However, we are interested | 
in reducing coyote population and 
thereby reduce or eliminate loss: 
being sustained by poultry and/} 
stockbreeders. |

I told him so. “You said there's 
always at any rate one star shining,” 
said I. “You're wrong this time.” 

But my neighbor chuckled. ‘There 
always iS one,” he replied. “Sooner 
or later.” 

And I pondered that , . 
ing myself, as 
you, 
| When things get so black for you 
j that there just isn’t even one star 

shining . hold on, stumble along, 
keep hoping friend. 

For, sooner or later, there'll be a 
star your lucky star in the 
blackest sky that ever was.

THE DIDSBURY PIONEER, DIDSBURY, ALBERTA 


By The Way 


Contributed by 
REV, T. J. STAINTON, M.A. 


Our holidays at this time of year 
always remind us of a song we all 
know well. A lonely young man 
away from home on Christmas Eve, 
watched a father come in from 
work. He was touched by the wel- 
come the laborer received. He no- 
ticed too, how the happiness about 
the cabin door outshone the signs of 
humble circumstances. The young 
man returned to his room in the 
country where he was seeking to re- 
gain his health. He picked up pen 
and paper, and as the tears of lonli- 
ness dropped on the page, he wrote: 
“Home, home, sweet sweet home, 
Be it ever so humble, there is no 

place like home.” 

Edith Thompson speaks of home 
a walk along a country road 
when the day's work is done: 

“In the low sunlight of the late 

aftesnoon, 

Homeward at close of day. 

Past little houses, under roof 

trees glimmering smile, 

With blue smoke dangling from 

each chimney tip. 

Good supper smells and white 

doors waiting — 

On lawns, glad dogs and children 

playing — 

In swift companionship.” 

Robert Burns, whose birth we 
celebrate each January, wrote these 
lines: 

“To make a happy fireside clime, 

To we'uns and wife, 

That's the true pathos and sub- 

lime 

Of human life." 

If you have not read “The Cotter’s 
Saturday Night” recently, this 
would be a splendid time to re-read 
it. Burns has enshrined in this 
poem truth that will always be 
honored and cherished wherever 
true homes exist. Where this is 
lacking, homes dwindle and become 
mere stopping places. 

“From scenes like these old 

Scotia’s grandeur springs, 

That makes her lov'd at home, 

rever'd abroad. 

Princes and Lords are but the 

breath of Kings, 

An honest man’s the noblest work 

of God.” 

There should not be, there need 
not be, a single dull moment in any 
home. It is a delight to go into a 
home, at the time of the evening 
meal, where everyone talks at once 
about everything. Everyone has had 
an experience during the day, and 
everyone is anxious to tel] about it. 
Everyone has an opinion to express, 
the children as well as the parents. 
Where should these opinions be 
more welcome than at home? 

To the stranger. or to those who 
have never enjoyed the privileges of 
sharing in the life of the larger 
family circle, all this might seem 
like an endless argument. However, 
it is nothing of the sort. It is just 
a case of good healthy give and take. 
Everyone feels free to give and 
everyone is willing to take, and all 
are happy. 

There is always the hour of home- 
work, where each helps the other. 
This done there 1s often nuts to 
crack, corn to pop or apples to eat. 
In many homes there are those de- 
lightful few minutes when all 
gather around the old organ, or per- 
chance a new piano, for a sing-song, 
before mother points to the clock 
saying, “It’s time we were all away 
to our rest.” None want to stray 
away, nor stay away from home 
when it is like this, because they 
would be sure they were missing 
something really fine if they did. 

Then too there is the family altar. 

“A home lacking in prayer is like 
a house without a roof, in which 
there can be neither peace, comfo't 
nor safety.” 

I turned an ancient poet's book, 

And found upon the page: 

“Stone walls do not a prison make 

Nor iron bars a cage.” | 

“Yes, that is true, and something | 

more: 

You'll find where'er you roam, 

That marble floors and gilded 

walls 

Can never make a home,” 

“But every house where love abides | 

And friendship is a guest, 

Is surely home, and home sweet 

home, 

For there the heart can rest.” 

Home, the most interesting place 
in the world, | 


CHRISTIAN SCIENCE | 

The answer to mankind's great 
need of purity and regeneration will 
be emphasized at Christian eSRS | 
services this Sunday, 

Keynoting the Lesson-Sermon on 
"Sacrament" is the Golden Text | 
from Psalms (24; 3, 4): “Who shall 
ascend into the hill of the Lord? or 
who shall stand in His holy place? | 
He that hath clean hands, and aj| 
pure heart; who hath not lifted up 
his soul unto vanity, nor sworn de- 
ceitfully.” 

Selections to be read from “Science | 
and Health with Key to the Scrip- | 
tures’’ by Mary Baker Eddy include | 
the following (241: 23-27): “One's | 
aim, a point beyond faith, should be | 
to find the footsteps of Truth, the 
way to health and holiness. We | 
should strive to reach the Horeb | 
height where God is revealed; and 
the corner-stone of all spiritual 
bullding is purity.”

Notes From D.A. 


By HOWARD J. FULCHER 


The size of a litter of pigs which 
is weaned makes the difference be- 
tween profit or loss to the producer. 
A good sized litter of thrifty pigs 
can be raised even in severe cold 
long winter if proper management 
practices are followed. 

One common cause of losses in 
litter pigs is the lack of sufficient 
iodine in the sow's ration. When 
the sow does not receive enough 
jodine the thyroid gland is affected, 
litter pigs thyroid gland function, 
before birth and they suffer accord- 
ingly. 

These pigs may be born in a weak 
and unsatisfactory condition; they 
do poorly and losses are high. They 
may in more severe cases be born 
hairless, have puffy skin and en- 
larged throats. In all cases losses 
are high and profits in hog produc. 
tion are greatly reduced or nullified 
completely. 

Prevention is simple, it is just 
supplying sufficient iodine to the 
pregnant sow. In some areas it is 
not a problem and in others the io- 
dized salt is sufficient. In most 
areas of this province it must be 
further supplemented by feeding the 
sow potassium fodide. 

Potassium iodide is fed by dissolv- 
ing One ounce of it in one gallon of 
water and feeding one tablespoon of
